Notes About The Poem

To my friend Frank, I dedicate this poem to you.

 

Cancer

I have a friend with Cancer.
I want to wish him well.
It's not enough to sit by and
watch his family face this hell.

I have heard so much about this
dreaded disease.
How the victims keep on fighting
puts my mind at ease.

I have a friend with Cancer.
I know not what more to say.
He is a trooper Soldier;
He is also very brave.

His time of living seems to be in jeopardy.
But I know our God is with him as He
shines His light in him.

I have a friend with Cancer.
He's fighting every day.
Until there's no more Cancer,
He'll win that war some day.
